EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of strange mammals, depicted in vibrant colors through an exquisite engraving. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and holds historical significance. The image originates from "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The book aimed to educate and entertain young readers with its diverse illustrations, including these peculiar creatures. Among the featured mammals are the Coypus-Hydromis, known for their distinctive white-bellied appearance. Alongside them are the white-tailed Hydromis and gold-bellied Hydromis, all fascinating examples of mammalian diversity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. Each creature's unique characteristics come to life on paper, capturing their essence as water rats or rodents within the animal kingdom. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen today, this German masterpiece remains out of copyright restrictions. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this intriguing print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders through the eyes of talented artists who sought to inspire generations with their work.
